This Eastern Conference semifinal series is the 11th time the Capitals have fallen behind 3-2 in a series in franchise history. They lost the series eight of those times.

"It's going to be a tough road," Capitals fan Colin Mace said.

However, the thrill of Wednesday's game being all or nothing for Washington has hockey fans admitting that there's nothing more exciting than this kind of pressure.

"There is nothing better than a series coming to a Game 6 and ultimately a Game 7," Jeremy Newkirk, who wore his Capitals jersey to work, said.

Faceoff at Verizon Center is set for 7:30 p.m. The winner of this series advances to take on the New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Devils defeated Philadelphia in five games to earn their spot in the conference championship.
